marked in an angle whose sine is \(x\) i.e. the angle labelled represents \[\arcsin(x)\] you want the tangent of that angle, so you need the unmarked side which you find by pythagoras

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the adjacent side is \(\sqrt{1-x^2}\) by pythagoras you want the tangent of that angle, which is "opposite over adjacent" so you can write \[\tan(\arctan(x))=\frac{x}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok let me get it right \[\tan(\arcsin(x))=\frac{x}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}\]
